The University of Missouri assesses tuition based on the student’s primary academic plan and their location (distance or on-campus). For students pursuing multiple degrees and/or certificates, they will be assessed the higher plan rate. Tuition rates are locked after the last day to add full session courses. Students who switch academic plans during the semester will see their new tuition rate (if applicable) the following semester.
There are three tuition tiers and market rates for graduate students. Programs that are considered highly competitive are assessed market rates. Graduate students are assessed per credit hour. Full-time enrollment for graduate students is defined as 9 hours per term.
- The due date for the Fall 2025 semester is September 10th, 2025.
- The due date for the Spring 2026 semester is February 10th, 2026.
